to keep the mud out.

ahh their website is terrible. All I wanted was a quick introduction to the product what, why etc... I gave after a few mins.

Do they attach to normal wheels? Also everyone uses different air pressures. Is there a way to do something similar with these airless wheels?

Been posted before, but as soon as I see something like this on a website I log out before more brain cells are destroyed.

Duh right.

So ride through a muddy patch and collect a pound of mud located in one place on the wheel, muddy ride and at least you balance it out all the way round with another 5lbs of mud!

No ability to tweak pressures for conditions, also the loading on the wheel rim will be different by the looks of it, I would imagine the weight has shot right up as well.

The concept has been around for a while, so I guess they've been blown out on the automotive front and are looking for new potential victims.

No reason they couldn't cover up the holes to be fair, that tyre seems to be more to show off the tech.

But since I like tyres at about 30psi, and other people like them everywhere from 10 to 60, I'm out- it can't be right for everyone.

I do want some std pedals though, do they come in chlamydia or are they standard aids fitting?

Off what?
I see you've regained the ability to produce complete sentences.

Go back a few posts, read what you wrote. Can you honestly say it's not the rantings of an illiterate dumbass?
